Oscillating Excellence

The OES-80CS comes equipped with an oscillating feature that goes beyond conventional sanding. By reducing heat build-up on the sanding belt, it minimizes loading and burning, thereby extending the belt's lifespan. This innovation ensures not just optimal performance but also cost-effective belt maintenance.

User-Friendly Design

Replacing and tracking belts is a breeze with the OES-80CS, thanks to its quick-release lever and conveniently located tracking control dial. These thoughtful design elements enhance the user experience, minimizing downtime and maximizing productivity in your workshop.

Precision in Construction

Crafted for durability, the belt platen of the OES-80CS is made from a precision-ground steel plate. This not only ensures strength and longevity but also contributes to the machine's overall stability during operation, providing a reliable foundation for your sanding tasks.

Cool and Graphite-Coated

The graphite-covered platen of the OES-80CS takes cooling to the next level. By running cooler, it not only increases the lifespan of the machine but also enhances the longevity of the sanding belt. This combination of temperature control and graphite coating is a testament to JET's commitment to quality.

Versatile Workpiece Positioning

The cast iron table of the OES-80CS is not just robust; it's adjustable. This feature allows you to move the table up or down, ensuring precise workpiece positioning. Whether you're working on intricate details or larger projects, this sander adapts to your needs with ease.

Contour Sanding Made Easy

Craftsmanship often demands contour sanding, and the OES-80CS meets this need head-on. The adjustable outer drum support table enables contour sanding, providing the flexibility required for diverse woodworking projects.

Tilt for Every Task

Sanding isn't a one-size-fits-all task, and the OES-80CS recognizes that. The tilting sanding head allows you to tackle bevels, angles, and flat surfaces with equal ease. This versatility empowers you to bring your creative visions to life, no matter the complexity of the sanding job.

Dust-Free Workshop

The OES-80CS understands the importance of a clean workspace. With an efficient dust collection system, it ensures that your workshop remains free from debris, providing not only a healthier working environment but also enhancing the visibility of your work surface.

Sturdy Base for Stability

A stable foundation is crucial for precise sanding, and the OES-80CS delivers with a robust and sturdy base. The cast iron construction ensures minimal vibrations during operation, giving you the stability needed for intricate sanding tasks.

Powerful Motor Performance

At the heart of the OES-80CS is a powerful motor that delivers consistent and reliable performance. With ample power, this spindle sander handles various wood types and densities, making it a versatile tool for your woodworking projects.

Effortless Drum Changes

The OES-80CS simplifies drum changes with its user-friendly design. Swapping out drums for different sanding tasks is quick and hassle-free, allowing you to adapt to the specific requirements of each project seamlessly.

Intuitive Controls for Precision

Precision is paramount in woodworking, and the OES-80CS prioritizes this with intuitive controls. From adjusting oscillation speed to fine-tuning the tilt, the controls are designed for easy manipulation, ensuring that every adjustment is made with accuracy.

Safety First with Emergency Stop

In woodworking, safety is non-negotiable, and the OES-80CS incorporates an emergency stop feature. This provides an immediate halt to operations in case of unexpected situations, adding an extra layer of protection to the craftsman.

Smooth and Silent Operation

Experience the elegance of smooth and silent sanding with the OES-80CS. The combination of precision engineering and quality components results in an exceptionally quiet operation, allowing you to focus on your craftsmanship without unnecessary noise distractions.

Extended Warranty for Peace of Mind

JET stands behind the OES-80CS with confidence, offering an extended warranty. This commitment to after-sales support ensures that you can embark on your woodworking journey with peace of mind, knowing that JET has your back.

Power Motor for Robust Performance

The OES-80CS comes equipped with a 1 1/2 HP, 115/230-volt (pre-wired 115-volt) TEFC (totally enclosed fan cooled) motor to deliver plenty of power for efficient and consistent performance. Mounted on the front, a simple, industrial style push-button switch controls the sander and is within easy reach even when you're operating the tool.

Sanding Belt Drive for Versatile Sanding Speed

The motor power is transmitted to the 6 x 89 inch-long abrasive belt via a 4-1/2-inch diameter, rubber-covered aluminum drum. The result is a 3900 SFPM (surface feet per minute) belt speed, optimum for sanding virtually any species of wood with the wide range of grits available. The rubber-coated drum ensures smooth, slip-free transfer of the motor power for highly consistent sanding. At the same time, an equally sized aluminum drum on the other end actually imparts the oscillating motions to the belt while keeping it tracking correctly.

Oscillating Action Prevents Overload and Burning

This sander operates with a 1/2-inch stroke that oscillates 108 times per minute, which utilizes a much larger area of the belt than straight-line belt sanders. The oscillating action also prevents loading of the sandpaper in one area, which has the adverse effect of stretching the life of the sanding belt to its fullest potential. Additionally, oscillation greatly reduces the amount of heat produced, thereby helping to prevent any burning of the work piece or sanding belt.

Quick and Easy Adjustments

A simple lever-operated tension release makes changing the belt fast, easy, and tool free. Even the belt guard can be removed and installed with a pair of large finger-operated knobs. You can also conveniently adjust the top-mounted belt tracking system with the included wrench, and you can take advantage of the motor mount's tracking adjustment should it be necessary.

Cast-Iron Table for Precise Results

The OES-80CS features a cast-iron table measuring 30 x 10 inches front to back that has been precision-ground flat and has a full-length miter slot machined into it. Additionally, the table can be adjusted up and down for precise alignment of the workpiece, and the included miter gauge makes precise end or miter saw sanding much easier.

Dust Collection for a Cleaner Shop

To help keep your workspace clean, the OES-80CS includes a dust port with four-inch diameter that's built into the hinged end of the belt guard. The belt guard system also helps direct the dust towards the port as well as focus the vacuum power of your dust collector on the belt to maximize efficiency.
